Southwestern Ontario

Finished with 18L from approx 200gal sap collected Tuesday. Nice Medium Id say, tastes amazing. Really loving my decision to buy the SMokyLake deluxe bottling kit with filters. Clearest syrup I have ever made. No sugar sand yet but the earliest bottles are only a week old, not sure if it will develop in the glass jars after time if I didn't get it all out or not. Time will tell I suppose.
Looks like more good weather headed our way for another sap run over the nest 10 days if the sun decides to poke out

I'm liking this freeze up give us a restart and the sweet in my pan will be ok til I start running again. Collected about 50-60gal yesterday of partly rain water sap tested 1-1.5% my wife thinks it was stupid but I'm letting it freeze then chucking ice for a couple days then testing again.

all froze up here....would love another 3-4 day run...straightened all the walnut buckets and ready for sat mornin or sun morning when she comes

Well the 60gal I collected in the rain I just emptied out 33gal at 3% can't complain about that!!!

That's pretty good!

Well collected 90 gal of 2-4% sap avg'd out at 2.1% so now I'm trying to get tomorrow off to boil it all.

thats a good haul...I collected this morn...saps still good...120 Litres this morn and drip drip drip again now

Nice to run across someone on here from my neck of the woods.... I'm from the Listowel area... I missed the early run and only got tapping on Sunday.... Not a lot in my buckets yet... and it looks like we're in for a 1 week freeze again..... When did you collect the 90 Gallons? Was that all this week?
